dc.description.abstract | Reliability of road systems and their critical components exposed to multiple natural hazards is on the frontline of engineering research during the last three decades since potential damage of infrastructure is strongly related to important direct and indirect economic losses. In this context, the research project INFRARES (www.infrares.gr) aims at delivering a comprehensive methodology towards a more efficient risk and resilience assessment of roadway networks in Greece subjected to various natural hazards. In this context, an analytical framework for the fragility assessment of bridges subjected to independent and/or multiple subsequent natural hazards, is proposed herein and applied to a case study bridge. The proposed methodology includes the estimation of seismic and flood fragility and the development of multihazard fragility curves. The proposed approach considers multiple structural components for the development of fragility curves, which are generated based on case-specific estimation of limit state thresholds accounting for multiple failure modes and SSI effects. A probabilistic framework is introduced to account for the uncertainties in the demand and capacity in case of single hazards, which is then extended for multiple-separate and/or subsequent-hazards, highlighting the effect of cumulative damage on the fragility assessment. The proposed methodology is applied to a case study bridge in Greece, considering multiple hazards, separate in time (i.e. two subsequent flood events). The results in terms of flood fragility curves are discussed with a view to evaluate the effect of damage accumulation in multiple hazard analysis; the probability of damage was found to drastically increase for all limit states considered. © 2022, National Technical University of Athens.
